I think the best way to describe aviance uk's activities (remember "aviance" is the general term for the alliance of handling agents) would be stable. No more news of heavy chopping & changing or base closures, although rumours remain to abound that a merger or buyout from Menzies may be imminent. Currently have no financial figures to hand, but it might be worth checking aviance uk's parent company, Go Ahead's, website for specific information.
It'd be interesting to see if aviance are planning any expansion, I know they have contracted from 17 bases across the UK when they were launched in 1999, to 14 now. Locally, I know at BHX they are continuing to pitch themselves as an "upper crust" handling agent, which means they have a loyal following, but seem to find it difficult to attract newer business especially the low-cost carriers. Also interesting would be to know the effect on LPL following their pulling out.
